Federal Way police are investigating the death of a baby found this morning at an apartment at the Club Palisades complex in the 2200 block of South Star Lake Road.

Police were called to the scene about 11 a.m. to assist fire paramedics with an aid call. Firefighters performed CPR on the newborn baby.

Police spokesman Raymond Bunk said the infant's 14-year-old mother told family members she had been bleeding heavily and asked to be taken to a hospital. Relatives at the apartment discovered the nonresponsive baby inside the girl's bedroom and called 911.

Bunk said police were trying to determine if the baby was alive at the time of birth. The body was turned over to the King County Medical Examiner's Office.

Bunk said the girl was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way.

According to KING-TV, a family member at the scene said the girl had not told her mother about the pregnancy.
